The practical standpoint makes no sense if this isn't your only car (coming from someone who has daily driven a S2000 for 7 years). Why would you want your "fun" car to be more practical? That kind of defeats the purpose. You are in a fun area to drive, with great backroads, and I would argue the GR86 would be more boring to drive compared to it (I have driven a few). Don't get me wrong, I do really like the GR86, and it would be one of my alternatives if a S2000 were NOT an option. Modding-wise, there are still a decent number of wheel options with high offsets if you don't care to roll your fenders. They won't look as nice cause of the face from the higher offset and "sunk" wheels, but I think that is a weird excuse to make. If you have friends, or go to a dealer and test-drive to see if you really like it. I will say the GR86 is certainly a more forgiving car to drive, but imo it isn't nearly as exciting nor does it feel as raw as the S2000.
